B. Reroute the Engine Wiring Harness

1. With the ignition key in the OFF position, disconnect the battery.

Note:
To enhance customer satisfaction, remember to record all radio settings before disconnecting the battery and to reset all electronic memory (clock, radio settings, etc.) when you have completed the service procedure.





2. Disconnect the two 10-way connectors from the bottom of the PDC (Figure 3).
3. Remove the disconnected end of the wiring harness from below the heater hoses and EGR tube.
4. Inspect the wiring harness for damage and repair as needed.

NOTE:
Wiring repairs should be completed following normal service procedures. Any damaged wiring insulation which exposes the wiring must be completely covered with high quality electrical tape.

5. Inspect the two PDC 10-way connectors to ensure that all wire terminals are fully seated into the connector.
6. Rotate the heater hose spring clamps inboard to ensure that they do not contact the wiring harness.
7. Route the wiring harness so that the take-out for the two 10-way PDC connectors, is routed ABOVE the heater hoses and EGR tube, but BELOW the speed control and main throttle cables (Figure 2).
8. The wiring take-out for the two 10-way PDC connectors should be routed in an upward, then forward direction from the 40-way connector harness as shown in Figure 2. Connect the two 10-way connectors to the bottom of the PDC (Figure 3.)

NOTE:
These connectors have a connector position assurance (CPA) feature which provides for a fully mated, positive engagement of the connector. Return the red slider to its original position after engaging the harness connector into its mating connector. If the red slider will not return to its original position, the connector is not fully engaged.

9. Route the PDC connector take-out through the clip molded on the inboard end of the PDC (Figure 3).
10. Snap the PDC into its mounting bracket.
11. Attach the locator clip on the 40-way PCM take-out to the speed control bracket (if equipped) or to the transmission mount support bracket, if necessary (Figure 1).
12. Reconnect the battery.
